Yes.

The callers that pass in NULL are callers who should really never
encounter a write delegation.  E.g. it might happen if you exported a
filesystem that you're also stacking ecryptfs on top of (assuming that's
possible).  Maybe I'm missing something, but that looks pointless.
Erroring out seems a safe way to handle it.

It wouldn't be a problem to convert more of those callers to do the same
retry loop, it just seems better to avoid the extra spaghetti to support
what looks like a nutty use case.
